'I got an Emmy nomination': Alexandra Daddario responds to critics of her acting skills
Alexandra Daddario has dismissed suggestions that she is a "bad actress" by pointing out that her work in 'The White Lotus' earned her an Emmy nomination.
Alexandra Daddario has hit back at critics of her acting ability.
The 38-year-old star has slammed suggestions that she is a "bad actress" and pointed out that she wouldn't have earned an Emmy nomination for her role in 'The White Lotus' otherwise.
Asked to name the most outrageous rumour she has heard about herself, Alexandra told Elle magazine: "That I'm bad actress.
"I'm not a bad actress. I've just done some projects that don't showcase me in the way that I should be showcased. OK?"
She continued: "Directing and the writing is everything. Sometimes I'm lit poorly, but I'm not a bad actress. I got an Emmy nomination. How do you think I did that?"
Alexandra also revealed that there have been a lot of acting roles that she regrets and explained that an independent film dogged by infighting was her worst project.
The 'Mayfair Witches' star said: "I have a lot of acting gigs I regret doing. This is a hard one, but I'll be vague.
"With all due respect to everyone who worked hard and who I worked with, there was an independent film that I shot was a disaster. A lot of infighting, producers walking off set, just chaos.
"I don't want to say the name though, because you can't, but I hated working on that. The movie doesn't have to be good, but you know, fighting is not something that I'm into."
Daddario played journalist Rachel Patton in the first season of 'The White Lotus' and previously explained that the show's creator Mike White has an idea for Rachel and her husband Shane (Jake Lucy) to return for a cameo in the future on the HBO series.
She said: "Shane and I would be on a boat, talking about other people, annoying everyone around us. Mike’s brain is always working. That’s the whole thing with his commentary on the world around him: He’s always observing."
